We have the rant thread, I feel like we need a stoke thread.

I'm pretty stoked for summertime with a returning sense of normalcy. Plus I just got some massive jobs and I'm buying a house and going to Montana and I'm just all around pretty fucking amped right now.

What are you guys stoked about?

DeebieSkeebiesAny tips for dealing with upset patients? Getting grilled by them as I try to asses them is scaring me haha, I don't want to lose focus. But its still a bad day for them so I get it but still. Im just a wee little rookie patroller.


patients like boundaries the way kids do, they might act upset or verbally attack you but at the end of the day they want you to be consistent, reliable, and firm. be nice and use your social skills, try to read what kind of communication a patient will respond best to. but stand your ground, speak clearly, do what you need to to get your job done

Bouta scrap my old cross country teammate in a race tomorrow wearing his schools merch. They kicked me from the team as their best runner so I had to move away from Xavier to run
I could possibly get my first win on varsity too

That was only a thing for like a year or two, otherwise GM ls v8s are great engines to put a ton of miles on. It's their 4 speed transmissions you have to watch out for.

Getting hit up for several jobs when you already have a job you like. Not gonna lie, feels good.

I prolly posted 50 times about how shitty it was working for Vail Resorts, prolly more honestly. Got fucked over by other mtns too. Almost left the industry several times, every one emds up leaving. Cool to stick with it and have a good paying gig at a mtn that treats me well and also have some other offers.

It's a small industry. I guess if you stay in it long enough and do a decent job it works out but damn, some places suck to work.

Hyped though

Copped the new whip, she’s gorgeous, and I love tundras. She may be dinged up a bit.

No frame damage on the driver side either just paneling stuff.
